purchased the sachets this weekend has a fairly extensive web site

| Re: what is the best way to remove eye makeup? |
| I used to use Pantene ProV all in one shampoo + conditioner in the shower
to remove eye makeup. It did a great job, it took it all off and didn't
leave me with raccoon eyes. Naturally, if you try this be careful to not
get any in your eyes..

| From Overstock.com: Emerald earrings for my mom, whose 74th birthday
is May 1. I thought that 74 was old enough to get without a single
piece of jewelry in her birthstone.

| Late 60's beatles cut |
| Is there a harisylist out there who can explain how this haircut is done?
It's sort of a Beatle/shag cut. Is it difficult to do? Should any hair
stylist be able to do it, or is it a specialized thing?

| Blocking hairspray from face |
| Okay, this might sound weird, but bear with me. There was an episode of
"Full House" where Jesse and Joey invent a "hairspray blocker". It was a
clear-plastic sheet that had a handle on it and to use it you simply covered
your face when you sprayed.

| Hi
I have a bunch of dead skin around my nails that I want to get rid of. I
suspect it is from having a few manicures where they cut the skin, and
it comes back thick and ragged.
